You will find with most coaster construction, the first hill and main platform are always the first things done since there is more to do than just vertical construction. While the rest of the ride is completed, the chain will be tested extensively. Track is usally attached as soon as they get its main support done. Mill. Force had the whole first hill built before they began adding track

Yeah ... hopefully they won't re-theme the ride at all ... there's too much Batman in the park right now. I don't see SFOT re-naming it, Steve Calloway said he wanted to keep all the Gotham Stuff isolated to Gotham City/Goodtimes Area. But this paint job of the Shockwave is rumored to be the last one it will receive.
